MEETING IVY OF "KOPIASTE"

~ Ivy and yours truely ~

What a surprise I had when I opened my e-mail box on Thursday the 6th of November and discovered a message from Ivy of "Kopiaste...To Greek Hospitality" from Greece telling me that she had finally decided to visit Switzerland with her husband...

As their son works in Geneva at the CERN and lives in neighboring France (see her post 1 & Post 2), Ivy wanted to know if I'd be willing to meet her somewhere in town in order to have a chat over a cup of coffee. How exciting! As you can imagine, it didn't take me long to accept her invitation!

So, on Tuesday of the following week, we (Ivy, her friendly husband and I/see her post here) spent the whole afternoon talking about this and that (mainly about food, food, food and again food, as you can imagine!), had coffee and a delicious cake, and went shopping in food stores.

That is so sweet, Rosa. Isn't it so nice make a lot of friends from all over the world. I am really hoping that my husband and I can go and visit your country next year. So, I can get to meet you as well.

Btw, I like to see the picture of you and Ivy, both of you look so cute in that photo!

Wew!! I just finished my post. I am really, really very happy to have met you Rosa, even if it was for only a few hours but I am sure we shall be meeting again soon, this time in Athens. Merci mon amie!!

I'm happy you had a nice meeting with Ivy ...and sad I couldn't do the same last summer.But in the end, I'm even happier to see your face on here again... I reiterate my statement: "You are soooooo pretty!" ...and true, you look totaly blissful!

Rosa, what a treat to meet up with Ivy! I saw the post on the meeting on her blog and commented there, so I just had to comment here as well. I have only spoken to her on the phone, but I hope to meet with Ivy next summer in Greece! I hope you enjoyed the Greek delicacies?
